On June 9, 2023, a delegation from the state of Arizona visited the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI) to identify the specific needs of Ukraine with regards to long-term reconstructive efforts, recommend actionable solutions and secure appropriate resources for longer-term challenges brought about by the russian invasion. Arizona and KPI are expanding their collaboration in the realm of Ukraine’s innovative development.
During their visit, the American delegation took a keen interest in the platform of the postwar innovative transformation of Ukraine, which is powered by the Sikorsky Challenge Ukraine Innovation Ecosystem (SCU). It is worth noting that SCU’s bold mission is to help stakeholders solve some of the complex problems by supporting startups and providing solutions that reduce the time from new ideas to life-changing inventions.
